Chapter 1

Magic…Or not…?

"Emma!" Henry shouted. "Watch out!" Dodging the deer that had been crossing the road, Emma's car hit the ice cold water and began to sink rapidly. Swimming around to the back of the car to open the door and let Henry out, they both swam to shore quickly.

"Are you okay kid?" Emma asked, as she rolled onto her back.

"Yeah…Just cold." Henry replied. Emma only nodded and held him.

"If my phone hadn't just sunk…" she began.

"The Three Bears' cabin is just over there," Henry pointed to a cabin and tried to stand up. "If we can just make it there…" He began to walk in the direction of the cabin, with Emma trailing behind him. Somehow, some way, Henry was handling being in an almost hypothermic state better than she was. She didn't even protest his crazy ramblings about the Three Bears; she just kept on following him.

As they approached the cabin, Henry fell to his knees. "Henry!" Emma shouted. Regina opened the door quickly, catching Henry and leading Emma inside.

"What happened?" Regina asked, laying Henry down by the fire.

"The car…" Emma's voice trailed off and Regina gave up on trying to figure everything out. With a little good magic, everything would be okay soon enough. At least for Henry it would be. For his entire life, Regina had been using magic on the boy. The kind of magic she was practicing, good magic, didn't come with a price; just the necessary respect for the universe around you.

Giving Henry some tea with the right herbs to warm him, she put him in one of the beds in the cabin knowing that he would be just fine in the morning. The cabin belonged to the Three Bears', but they were hibernating, and Regina was checking in on the place for the winter. Being the mayor, she did have duties. Like the "old fashioned" bears that they were, they hibernated in caves in the woods, sleeping until the weather got warmer.

Regina tried the same tea on Emma, who was barely awake and wrapped in a giant blanket next to the fire. She continued to shiver, her symptoms not improving like Henry's.

She removed Emma's jacket and wet clothes down to her underwear and hung them to dry, wrapping her in a new, dry blanket. "What are you doing?" Emma mumbled.

"Saving your life." Regina replied, also stripping down to her underwear. "No more questions." She stated, pulling the blonde tightly to her and wrapping the blanket around both of them. "You are close to turning purple and going into shock," Regina began, making sure Emma was closest to the fire and its warmth. "I don't intend to let that happen."

And she didn't. She sat for hours just holding the woman in her arms, knowing that Henry would be okay with the herbs she had given him. Emma's arms were wrapped tightly around Regina's neck, and her almost naked form was beginning to warm thanks to Regina's body heat being there as well. Regina felt like she had known this woman forever; but in truth, she didn't even know her name.

Emma's eyes fluttered open and she looked at Regina. "Hey," she managed, her eyelids heavy and her body still pressed up against Regina's.

"Hi." Regina looked down at her curiously. "May I ask what your name is?"

Emma smiled against her neck. "Emma." She stated, closing her eyes again.

A smile played on Regina's lips, and one of her warm, loving hands stroked Emma's cheek. "I'm Regina." She introduced herself. "And I know you have met my adopted son Henry."

Emma nodded. "My bio," she began, taking a deep breath to finish her sentence. "My biological son," she stated.

"Yes." Was all Regina could say. And suddenly, it all made sense as to why the lovely woman in her arms had felt so familiar to her; a part of her had been in Regina's life since his birth: Henry.

Emma snuggled into Regina a bit more, and Regina noticed that the fire had died down. With the wave of her hand, Regina made the fire come back to life, but she still continued to hold Emma tightly. Emma's eyes widened as she looked over at the now roaring fire. "You made that happen?" Emma asked.

A smile played on Regina's lips. "Tomorrow, I will explain my magic to you."

"There is no such thing a magic. I really must have gone into some sort of deep sleep or shock." Emma still hadn't moved from her comfortable position in Regina's arms, and she cotinued to look into the fire questioningly.

Regina waved her hand once more, and a bed appeared close to the fireplace. She didn't know why she hadn't thought of it before; perhaps she liked being so close to the Emma woman. "How did you -" Emma looked at the bed in shock.

"Magic." Regina replied, gently laying Emma down in the bed. She got up to leave, but Emma protested. "Please stay," she pleaded. "It's so cold." Regina couldn't argue with that, and it seemed that no matter how close to the fire Emma got or how many herb teas Regina gave her, the only thing making her better, strangely, was Regina being close to her.

They fell asleep tangled together perfectly, and while it should have been awkward in every way (they were afterall complete strangers), somehow, it felt comfortable.

Henry Mills watched his moms sleeping peacefully in the bed downstairs by the fire. Both were so tightly wrapped in the blankets, if not for their hair color, he wouldn't have been able to tell who was who. "Why are you almost naked?" He asked somewhat loudly of them.

Emma's eyes shot open as did Regina's, and Regina magically made two robes appear. "How is it you keep doing things like that?" Emma asked.

"Magic." Regina replied casually, grabbing one of the robes. "Emma was close to hypothermic shock last night," Regina explained; her back to Henry as she put the robe on. Emma mimicked her and nodded in agreement with Regina. "My spells and tea didn't work to warm her up, so this was the next best thing."

"Getting almost naked?" Henry looked at her questioningly.

"Skin-to-skin body heat." Regina replied, standing up and magically making coffee appear for both her and Emma. Again, Emma looked at Regina in shock at the magic.

"How is it possible that your magic didn't work on her?" Henry asked. "It works on everyone."

"I don't know." Regina replied. "I guess maybe there is one person in the universe that my magic didn't work on."

Emma took a sip of her coffee and then smiled. "I wouldn't say that it didn't work," she gave a half grin. "You kept me alive," she took another sip of the most delicious coffee she had ever tasted. "Even if that was by using logic and not magic…And that is in a way magical."

Regina couldn't resist smiling back at that. "Indeed," she agreed, joining Emma sitting up in the bed.

"So," Emma perked up. "Tell me more about this town you both live in as well as magic." She smiled. "I mean, it seems to be a part of every day life here, and while I could be freaking out because magic is completely illogical, so are a lot of things."

"I will quickly explain my magic." Regina replied. "When I was young," she began, sipping her coffee for a moment. "There were two roads I could have taken. The first road lead to dark magic, the kind of magic that has a price. The second, lead to light magic, the kind that doesn't, as long as you are kind to nature and respect the magic." A smiled played at her lips for a second and she continued. "My mother," she sighed. "Cora, decided that she wanted to take everything away from me. I was young and in love with a poor stable boy named Daniel. Cora is the...The queen of hearts. She overheard Daniel and I talking one night about running away, and she became so enraged, that she took Daniel's heart right out of him." Regina looked down and into her cup of coffee, a sad frown appearing on her face. "As I held Daniel's body right then, I had a choice." Regina took another sip of her coffee and continued. "I could become just like her, taking hearts and being evil, a slave to a magic that although strong, had its price," she explained. "Or I could be better than that." A wide smile suddenly appeared across her face. "And I chose to rise up against Cora in the best possible way; by being good."

"So you're telling me, that there is dark magic in the world?" Emma looked at Regina both questioningly and skeptically. "And light magic? I mean, making coffee appear, robes," Emma began. "That is all so simple."

Regina nodded. "Let me finish my story." She rubbed Emma's shoulder gently, and Emma only nodded. "The night I was to marry King Leopold," Regina began, her eyes somewhere else entirely. "I went out to the stables to get a horse to escape on. I knew that my Aunt Rose, who lived up north and was a good witch, would teach me light magic and hide me. I rode and rode until my horse couldn't go any longer, and then, I walked. I walked until I finally reached her house, and then, I told her my story." Regina's lips were pressed into a fine line and she continued. "Days passed of her showing me how to channel energy properly through plants, meditation, naturally." Regina looked at peace right then, a very soft and relaxed look on her face. "When she felt I was ready, she had me open a book," Regina walked over to her purse and pulled it out. It was small and leather bound, but it had a giant gold knot on it that Regina showed Emma and Henry. Henry knew the book all too well, but he never got tired of the story.

"My aunt told me that this book was reserved for me," she smiled. "That everyone in our family who had chosen the light had a book of spells. The first time you open the book," she explained, her hand resting over the knot on the book. "You have to cut your finger and drip three drops of blood onto the knot." She pinched the knot with her thumb and index finger. "Before, it was completely closed, but my blood opened it." Regina explained. "The pages were empty when I first opened it, but as time went on, the pages filled with spells, spells that I could use to my advantage, as long as I respected nature and energy. Now, I just need my thumb to open the book." She pressed her thumb into the center of the knot and opened the book.

"But what's with all the waving of your and and making things appear?" Emma asked curiously.

"Well," Regina began. "The more seasoned one gets as a practicer of magic, the more they are able to make things appear at will. For me," she smiled. "With the wave of a hand, as long as my intentions are good and it is for someone else, or something small, like coffee or tea, I can get it."

"But you can't like, use magic to get yourself a mansion or something?" Emma questioned, still somewhat in shock over everything.

"Well..." Regina smiled. "I certainly do have more to show and tell you."

"I look forward to it," Emma began. "Although I am not sure exactly what I believe." She sighed. "Maybe this is all some crazy dream I am in or something." She bit her bottom lip. "Maybe I am dead."

"I assure you Emma," Regina started, taking a long drink from her coffee cup. "You are most certainly not dead." She made her cup disappear and stood to get dressed. "Come," she began walking around. "You have a town to meet."

A/N: Well, please let me know if I should continue or not. This story is going to have a much softer Regina, and in upcoming chapters, I will be introducing Regina's evil older sister…Someone who wants to see Regina suffer. The town residents will all be in this story as well, and so will Cora! There will be Swan/Queen, some Red/Hook, Rumple/Belle, Snow/Charming (although I haven't decided if they are Emma's parents in this world yet or not), and a few more! I look forward to reading your reviews. I would also like to clarify that I am NOT a doctor or a nurse, but I did read that hypothermia can be cured by skin-to-skin body heat, and that is why I took the story this direction. That, and the fact that I wanted Emma and Regina to start off on a good note…
